“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”--

Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.

deeply annoying that creative breakthroughs don’t come on schedule from direct work but from things like “open-ended conversations with interesting people” and “doing nothing”

I’m worried we’re reading about this country’s last amazing medical breakthroughs. Soon I’m sure they’ll be personhooding stem cells.
Stem cells reverse woman’s diabetes

A 25-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes started producing her own insulin less than three months after receiving a transplant of reprogrammed stem cells.

If you are hoping that there are going to be big medical breakthroughs in the future, pay attention to all the of the things happening to the NIH. When grants aren't funded, research shuts down and breakthroughs don't happen. Choking off funding to research is a big deal.

No more research breakthroughs so we can get statues of William F. Buckley and Antonin Scalia
Countless local arts and humanities groups in all 50 states had their funding stripped without warning and scholars in the field had their grants axed, all so that Trump can spend $34 million of your taxpayer dollars building bad statues for his personal vanity project

No medical or technological breakthroughs have ever been achieved using conspiracy theories, which is why Rand Paul is a Republican politician and not a scientist.
